In a previous life, meaning like three months ago, Olivia Munn was purple-clad telepathic ninja warrior Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse. She didn't get nearly enough to do, but maybe her next run as a ninja will be more exciting. Along with Justin Theroux (The Leftovers) she will be joining the voice cast of The Lego Ninjago Movie, a spinoff of The Lego Movie. Jackie Chan, Dave Franco, Michael Peña, Abbi Jacobson, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Woods, and Frank Armisen were previously signed to the film which is based on the popular martial arts-inspired line of toys. Munn will voice Koko, the mother to Franco's character, Lloyd, with Theroux as his father/nemesis. Directed by Chris Bean, The Lego Ninjago Movie opens September 22nd 2017.
The gorgeous Rose Leslie, best known for Game of Thrones and The Last Witch Hunter, where she won the hearts of Kit Harington and Vin Diesel respectively, will star alongside Alfre Woodard in Haunted. The thriller is directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) from a script by The Conjuring's Chad and Carey Hayes, centering on a young woman who begins working in a wealthy estate she comes to learn is haunted. The film is loosely based on the book Turn of the Screw by author Henry James. [Empire]
